Beyond Cultural Colonialism - Interculturale Theatre Work
Intercultural theatre-projects are able to activate immense sustainable seminal power, but they always have to deal with existential conflicts, inequality and political structures. How can we create and keep intercultural theatre-work at eye level and what are the conditions of a curious and respectful work in the artistic processes?

Title & Description

and Aesthetics of Theatre in Prison and its educational-inclusive role
Only getting rid of its merely re-educational function that is often assigned to its “cultural activity” status, Theatre in Prison will be able to fully represent its potential as an emancipation tool.
At the same time the independence of theatre can’t do without a thorough knowledge of its context. We should ask ourselves some questions on this matter: can theatre ethics exist without theatre aesthetics? Can we create art without ethics in prisons?
Too often have we assisted to bad theatre examples created in the name of ethical principles. It can also happen not to see any ethical principle in theatre productions at all. In prisons it is generally easier to find both ethics and aesthetics. " (Vito Minoia)
